Emerson Royal

[elber]

According to reports in Brazil via the Sun, Arsenal are ready to launch an £8m bid to sign Atletico Mineiro full-back Emerson Junior ahead of the January window as Unai Emery looks to continue his squad overhaul.

Mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I’m optimistic as he sounds quite promising. On the other pessimistic because Andre Santos has put me off Brazilian full-backs for good.

We possibly employed the two worst Brazilians of all time, him and Denilson. Surely our luck should change on that?

Santos aside, Brazil do have 3 of arguably world's 5 best left backs in A. Sandro, Telles, and Marcelo.

Of all the players that we have invariably been linked with, this is the transfer I really want to materialise.

From what I have seen of this fella I'm inclined to think he has been sprinkled with some pixie dust. I remember the first couple of games for the likes of Cole, Fabregas, Messi, Vieira, van Persie and knew that they had that special something about them, the x factor. This guy evokes a lot of the same feeling and inclination.

I assume this is the Emerson this thread is talking about?

Emerson Aparecido Leite de Souza Junior

Attacking right back.

I bought him and Gabriel Magalhaes in soccer manager worlds before they were well known. Just need Renan Lodi for the full house!

There are indeed two Emerson's. Since I can't get it to translate into English from Spanish for some reason, I'm going to assume it is definitely the same Emerson Junior I was referring to nearly 3 years ago now known as Emerson Royal and playing for Real Betis but co owned with Barcelona.

Another 'Yes Please!' from me following on from similar notions floated around about Max Arrons and Achraf Hakimi with Tariq Lamptey thrown in for good measure before prices and transfer rebuttals dashed those false hopes, does leave me feeling like a bit of an alcoholic having now drunk the brandy, whiskey and rum before spying a bottle of tequila tucked behind the sofa.

My mitigating apologies stem from having endured Hector Bellerin after his initial break through had promise of a 24 carat superstar being born before proving to be a false Idol made from lead.

Arsenal have joined the race to sign Real Betis star Emerson, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona are expected to act on their option to sign him at the end of the season, but with the likes of Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Tottenham looking at him, the Spanish side could opt to cash in by selling him on again.

Arsenal and Villarreal are ready to enter the picture, too, and could chip in with a bid this summer.

[Arsenal Tone]

Yes please!

Everton and Arsenal are keeping tabs on Real Betis defender Emerson Royal. The Brazil international, 22, is on loan from Barcelona but could be interested in a move to the Premier League if his options are limited at the Nou Camp. (Sport - in Spanish)

[Salibatelli]

Reports saying he’s signed for Barcelona as they only had to pay 9 million euros.

[thebigbangtheo]

Oh well, that's the best of the bunch now having been removed from the equation. Hakimi, Arrons and Lamptey remain as preferred options in that descending order.

[Ach]

The Gunners are contemplating a swap deal with Barcelona that would see Bellerin return to the club where he began his career and 22-year-old Brazil defender Emerson Royal move to north London. (Star)

No thanks

[Arsenal Tone]

Yes please!

Similar age to Gabriel. Then get Bruno Guimaraes and we have our Brazilian core.

God damn, even though you omitted Gabby Martinelli, your consideration is almost as though you had read my mind!

I have been playing an online football manager game for a couple of years now where i buy young, upcoming brazilian players.

Had Magalhaes, Guimaraes, Emerson and Lodi before they made it in Europe.
